Is "Civilization" Coming to Randolph County?

Saturday morning had both the Randolph County Animal Shelter book sale at Chris Mitchum's warehouse and also the Randolph County Historical Museum opening. I attended both and dropped $50.00 for each, all the time wishing I could do more. Not a great crowd at the museum yet a promising start. I had great memories of that old building from the old man's labors for Uncle Sam being where I started and ended many days. Seemed like good turnout for the book sale. Went to Annie L. Awbrey library for a bit and then had a blazing afternoon watching the boy's Little League team being crushed at the recreational facilities. At times I do wonder if Roanoke could move forward and become a neat little village. Hope spring eternal. Peace ... or War!
